Hello All, 

 

I have recently had to replace my Neos camera system and chose to do so with Tapo and a TC60 set up. 

 

Home turns off detection, Away turns on detection and Schedule will set recording times. So Schedule is camera spicific and home and away is group. 

 

So what I am trying to achieve is at night the camera records if motion is detected so the system is armed but when i leave the house I would like the Away mode to arm the system and record because no one is there.

 

The problem being now if you have a schedule enabled on a camera it will not record on Home or away until that is active so if i go down the shops or go out for the day I press away mode it will just alert me and record nothing. 

 

My old system I used to have Armed, Unarmed for example and a schedule contolled Armed and Unarmed but with Tapo as the Schedule sits inside the Camera not the Home or Away, you can only achieve this but tunrning record on all day and manually use Home and Away. 

I have been playing around with app for a while and it does seem to be rather "busy" with the amount of settings that are located in different places. 

 

I would like the system to arm and record at night and also have the option to turn it on armed and recoding when I go out for the day not just message me there is movement.

Hi,
Is the usage scenario you want to achieve as below?
1.  When you are at home, turn off the camera's Detection feature, and the camera does not record.
2. When you are away from home, turn on the camera's detection feature, and the camera starts to record.
3. At night, turn on the camera's detection feature, and the camera starts to record.

 

If so, you can turn off the camera's Detection feature at Home mode, and then on the camera's Detection feature at Away mode. If an SD card is inserted into the camera, set the Recording Schedule to record detection video clips all day.
When you are at home, apply the Home mode to your camera, and when you are away from home or at night, apply the Away mode to your camera.
